Long Narrow Pocketbooks.

Lady readers will be interested to learn
that the long narrow pocketbooks continue to
be the fashionable ones; also that monkey
skin is just now ahead in feathers for making
pocketbooks, chatelaine bags, card cases and
the like, though pig skin, crocodile, ETC., are
still in fashion. The new shades in dress
fabrics are represented in the new pocket
books; hence there is a prevalence of hello
trope and Bismarck hues.

A LETTER FROM SHERMAN.

New YORK, April 20.-The following
card was published this morning. It ex.
plains itself:
To the Editor Of the Herald have
seen q paragraph which has been going
the rounds to the effect that General
Logan's papers contain a letter from
General Sherman of q compromising
nature, which he and his brother, the
Senator, had endeavored to suppress, and
in your issue to-day / find that one of
your Washington correspondents has in.
terviewed the Senator, who treats the
whole matter with proper contempt.
Now I reafirm every word my brother is
reported to have said. General Logan's
friends are at perfect liberty to publish
in full any letter / ever wrote to him,
private, confidential, or official. Fur.
ther, if Mrs. Logan, or John A. Logan,
Jr., will send to me an accredited agent,
/ will permit him to see and copy all
letters to be published. to crafty the
curious. All men in public stations write
private letters, as well as public, and in
this instance / withdraw the limitation
as to publication, only suggesting that
the letter and answer be published to-
gether. as being more satisfactory to an
honest reader. A paragraph here, and
q paragraph there, is as much of a forgery
as the raising Of q check.

ner in which it is treating the Municipal
Suffrage law. The men have agreed to
give the women q chance to make q su-
preme test Of their ability to deal with
public affairs, and in order to do this
have stepped aside and will simply watch
the result of the trial. The entire city
ticket - Mayor, Councilmen, etc. = is
composed Of ladies, who were nominated
to the position. Stockton is On the
South Fork of the Salmon river, and has
lately voted to build water works. The
handling of this important matter will
be left to the women who will have to
let all contracts, see that contractors
perform their work properly. pay off the
men and supervise things generally.
The city is on the central branch of the
Missouri Pacific line, that is likely to be
extended this year, and they will have
an opportunity to grapple with the rail
road question among other things. In
short. the municipal government is to be
handed entirely over to the ladies, and
the whole nation will watch with eager
interest the result of an experiment that
is without parallel in the history Of
modern times.-New York Herald.

WHAT TT cOsrs FoR DRINK.

WASHINGTON, April l4.-In the quar-
terly report of the Chief Of the Bureau
Of Statistics the consumption of distilled
and malt liquors aud wines, and the
estimates made by recognized authorities,
are dwelt upon at some length. In round
numbers, the consumption Of distilled
spirits, domestic and imported, increased
from AZ, 900, 900 gallons in 1910 to
r. 900, 900 in 1886; of wines, from
$500, 900 gallons to %, 200, 900; Of malt
liquors from %, 000, 600 to 642, O00, 600.
An elaborate statement made by F. N.
Barrett, editor of the New York Grocer,
by request Of the Chief of the Bureau,
is given, which sets forth among other
things that the present average expendi-
lure in this country per annum for malt
and spirituous liquors and beer. at retail,
is 500, 600, 900. The drinking popala.
ton is estimated to be lin 1885, IA, 925,.
AT, making an average expenditure per
capita of 50 90,
Barrett shows by tables covering five
years, from 1882 to 1886, inclusive, that
the consumption Of spirits is decreasing,
and that Of beers increasing, and that
there is q reduced use Of wine as q bev.
erage. during that period" he says,
"the consumption of coffee has risen
from eight and two.tenths pounds per
capita to nine and eleven.hundredths
pounds. Do not these facts show that
milder stimulants are driving out their
competitors, and is it not due to the
growing agitation of the temperance
question !"

Protecting the Grape Crop.
lPhiladelphia Record

Since the rot first made its appearance
on grapes many experiments have been
made IN order not only TO prevent its raw
ages, but to stamp out the disease; and,
although the damage is annually reduced,
yet it is still q formidable enemy to the
grape grower. AS the work around the
vines must be done early, no time can now
be lost. All the old wood-or decayed
rubbish around the vines-must be de-
stroyed By fire, and the ground made per-
fectly clean before it shall be plowed OR
disturbed, then saturated with a solution
OF copperas, which is prepared by dissolv-
ing one pound of copperas in six gallons Of
lime water. AS the disease is propagatsd
by diseased berries, the work does not
cease until the end of the season, so every
berry that shows the slightest signs of at
tack must be thrown into the fire and COM
pletely consumed. 1t will not do to bury
the berries, or attempt to destroy them in
any other manner. This work will be very
laborious but every year thereafter the
cases will be fewer and the work will de-
crease, If all the growers in community
would act together it would he to their
mutual advantage. Wet weather is very
favorable to the rot, as it has been noticed
that its ravages are not so great durlHg
periods of drought. The success attending
the bagging OF grapes is due to the fact
that the clusters are Kept dry, but the bag.
g1ng of the grapes must be done just as soon
as the young clusters snail have
been formed, as it WILL not do to
postpone the work till later. In
some sections resort is had To roof
ing the vines with boards or muslin, which
method hes proved successful. The grape
rot is disease which is annually propa-
gated by spores, and to destroy these spores
is to prevent the spread OF the disease; but
it may require several seasons before the
disease can be entirely destroyed. The
proper fertilization of the crop is also an.
other important matter, as we'll as good cul.
tivation. The grape crop is very valuable
one, as less labor is required in the vine
yard. when free from disease, than is neces
sary for grain crops, while the profits are
much larger. 1t paye, therefore, to make
every attempt to prevent the rot and al
grape growers should unite in the effort.
